I hope you all had a good summer break and are now refreshed and ready to go. Its the Scottish championships this weekend so good luck to all those taking part. Unfortunately I cannot make it as I have the South East black belt raining on Saturday and a grading on Sunday and I could not change the dates. We also have a TAGB committee meeting on Wednesday and I am back teaching on Monday and Wednesday nights at my Warwick club. On Sunday the North Midlands championships were held in Derby and I understand they were a great success. At the meeting on Wednesday we will be planning next years calendar of events.
